Offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of architectural history, "The Rest," a High Victorian Gothic-style home that sits majestically on the western banks of the Hudson River in the Balmville hamlet of Newburgh. Built for Daniel Bennett St. John, one of the founders of the New York Times, this home was crafted by the renowned architect Frederick Clarke Withers, a leader of the American Gothic Revival movement in America and protege of Andrew Jackson Downing. Spanning over 7,000 square feet across three levels, it is currently being used as a five-bedroom home but could easily live as an eight-bedroom, and offers large spacious rooms, an open and seamless layout and 4.5 bathrooms. Exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail throughout include intricately carved wood moldings, soaring 11+ foot ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, and rich hardwood surfaces. One of the most breathtaking features is the Tiffany-style stained glass window, a true masterpiece that transforms with the changing light throughout the day, casting vibrant displays of color and creating a living work of art. There were six original fireplaces, five of which had been converted to coal, but the beautiful custom carved marble mantles remain intact. The library's wood-burning fireplace is still functioning and features a finely carved wood mantel. There is also a skylight spanning from a cupola above to the third and second floor, providing light into both levels. The house is generously sized, providing ample space for extended family, an au pair, or dedicated quest quarters. The exterior of the house is adorned with elaborate Gothic details that mirror the home's stunning interior. As an apprentice of Andrew Jackson Downing, and a partner of Calvert Vaux, it is apparent that Withers applied their philosophies of integrating architecture and nature when determining the position of this home, strategically complementing the picturesque Hudson River landscape and view. A stunning bluestone veranda stretches along the river-facing side of the house, offering breathtaking views and serving as an extension of the indoor living space. Other quality features include an updated chef's kitchen with a stunning reclaimed wide-plank wood flooring that extends into the family room, a convenient butlers pantry, updated bathrooms, screened in porch overlooking the pool area, 18'x36' in ground concrete pool with brand new pump, beautiful landscaping, and blacktop circular driveway. Ideally located just 64 miles from Manhattan and only 6 miles from the Beacon Metro North Train Station. Also, minutes to local restaurants, shops, hiking, walking trails, the Powelton Country Club, and major highways. See floor plan and 3D walk-through tour.
